Not sure how the others feel, but studying Korean is somewhat like a therapy for me. It is when I can forget all other worries and calm my mind. I will put in 100% concentration and it helps to distract (?) me from all other worries. Not feeling too good recently and I find myself forcing myself to do things that range from mildly dislike to hugely frustrating.
I have tons other work to complete but nothing works better than a few hours of time devoted to Korean to prevent me from going all out depressed. >,<
For some reason, I like my handwriting now 😀
그리고 열공 중의 모습~

19 February, 2011 at 10:34 PMHello! I’m currently self-studying Korean and I have a question, hope you can help clear my doubts! 🙂
May I know the difference between 무슨 and 어떤? Or do they actually mean the same thing?
Thanks in advance! ^_^

20 February, 2011 at 9:30 AMthat’s a difficult question 😛 both have the general meaning of ‘what’ but they each have specific uses
어떤
1. when asking for something/someone’s characteristics, content, character etc
예) 어떤 책이에요? / 선생님은 어떤 사람이세요?
2. ‘someone’ –> not specific
예) 어제 어떤 이상한 남자가 집에 찾아 왔어요
무슨
1. when u are asking about sth u dunno
예) 무슨 냄새야?
2. what kind of..? (negative connotation)
예) 이게 무슨 노래야?!
무슨 걱정은 이렇게 많아??!
there are still a few more meanings each can take up but i think these are the main uses of each ^^
